This is largely a note to myself, but I hope it will be useful for anyone else who helps to administer a Domain of One’s Own project. I get a lot of requests from OU Create users to migrate a WordPress site from one user’s account to another or to create a forked version of […]
Playing and learning involve experimentation, getting dirty, and breaking stuff. Both on the web and IRL, I want people to test a toy or a technology or a theory in order to see what it can provide and where it will break.
